Oh, Fato, con le tue sfortunate oscillazioni ed errori di valuta scandalosa <br> | |||
Mi hai gettato nell'abisso della disperazione! <br> | |||
non sono amato! sono desolato! <br> | |||

Per servizi giuridici di alto livello nel nuovo mondo? <br> | |||

But you must pesist in making it harder! <br> | |||
This adds to what was already a challenging environment. <br> | |||
Gods, crack your cheeks! Mark my words! <br> | |||
Heed what I have to say! <br> | |||
This will be a catalyst for more lateral moves”<br> | |||
